Trying to get ready for work in the morning on my own with two kids are trying my patience. DS was up for the day before 6:00 and is fussy, DD is fine today except that she just woke up too early, so I have to keep an eye on her, too. I seriously have core memories of my mom getting so upset with us in the mornings, so I'm trying hard not to show my frustration, but UGH. I just want to put my makeup on in peace.
TV. That's what I do. DD is supposed to get dressed while I'm showering, and if DS is up and not content in his crib, he goes in the PNP in our room. It still sucks, but slightly less so this way.
I'm frustrated because H got home at midnight and left again early this morning and I have so much to talk to him about including a topless woman who was hanging out on our block last night.
1 hour walk at the mall and then we got soaked getting back to the car.
Now we are eating CFA in the car in our driveway waiting for a break in the storm.
Seriously? No baby? Didn't your water break???
It was a leak and the tear sealed up. I had no idea that could happen! I've pretty much tried EVERYTHING except for castor oil because baby at station 0 is uncomfortable and it makes me nervous to be 5cm/90% effaced.
I called daycare back and DS took his bottle after all, so hopefully he'll eat normally there. I'm having a very relaxing day since all I'm doing is catching up on 12 weeks worth of emails.
All of a sudden everything is going in fast forward. My babies are starting daycare in 1.5 weeks. I'm feeling all this pressure to make the end of summer daytimes awesome which seems to be resulting in me sucking more than usual. So many feelings, so much to do. I have class starting tomorrow and I have only read about 50 pages of the 250 page book I'm supposed to read. I'm in denial this is happening.
What's your class for? Is the book interesting?
I'm working on a second master's degree in social work...the two classes I'm taking this fall are both related to clinical practice with children. The book is a case study of a little boy with a lot of emotional problems and the mental health treatment he received. I thought I'd be interested in the book but in actuality I don't like the author's writing style.

IT CAN SEAL UP?? That's incredible! I have been thinking of you since it happened, I know you can't be comfortable.

I KNOW RIGHT?! Our bodies are so cool! I got an ultrasound and everything looks great (perfect fluid levels) so we aren't worried just getting progressively more impatient.
And crazy. And I know I'm only 38.5 weeks but I'm pretty much the most annoying 9 month pregnant woman ever sooo...
namasteak - you didn't say you are actually considering castor oil, but if you are, don't do it! You'll just be pooping and puking, and then you'll be dehydrated. Not my experience, but someone I know. Sounds horrific.
But I hope your baby comes soon! The waiting game sucks.

I am not considering it so don't worry! It sounds like the worst possible thing you could do before going into labor.

@mrswindycity, we discussed the chart in my FB mom group, and almost everyone else's kids were close to that. I felt so bad. I have been fighting for earlier bedtimes for years to no avail. I even showed it to H last night and said "this is why your wife is frustrated every night!"
I'm on my second cup of tea already just because I can. I limited myself to one cup when pregnant/nursing so for over two years. Yet another perk of weaning! Unlimited caffeine!
Last week was my first week of no nursing and I went wild with the Venti english breakfasts... and now I'm pg so back to the decaf.

Yeah, DS wakes up at 6 no matter what. I think 8pm is a reasonable bedtime (it ends up more like 8:30-8:45), but according to H "everyone we know" keeps their kids up later than we do.
I went and visited Ethan's daycare room that he will start in two weeks. I told them some things about Ethan, like he takes a good afternoon nap sometimes. They asked me when his morning nap is. Shit. I have no idea. I am just winging it.
Then Ethan had his shots. Omg so sad! I talked to my pedi about my concerns about his birth and she calmed a lot of my fears. His Agpar was 1 at birth but 8 at 5 minutes and 9 at 10 minutes so she explained what that means.
This is super random but the Marissa Meyer post made me think about male/female office roles and j thought DH's was interesting.
DH works in a very male dominated industry and the 3 main directors at his office are women. One has a husband who stays home with the kids, one doesn't have kids, and the other has kids in daycare full time. I always point out to DH how interesting it is that his company has so many women on staff but he does not understand why it's a big deal. His response is they're good at their jobs so why wouldn't they be. He is also in the minority with a SAH wife so it's hard for me to socialize at his company events.
